Conway criterion
text:
In the mathematical theory of tessellations, the Conway criterion, named for the English mathematician John Horton Conway, is a sufficient rule for when a prototile will tile the plane. It consists of the following requirements: The tile must be a closed topological disk with six consecutive points A, B, C, D, E, and F on the boundary such that: the boundary part from A to B is congruent to the boundary part from E to D by a translation T where T(A) = E and T(B) = D.
